New Years Resolution #2

 

Be a little more pretty in all that I do.

To CHI or not to CHI…

 

I’ve never been good at using a flat iron but all I’ve ever heard of using is a CHI iron. Best thing since sliced bread. NOT!! 

I purchased the Glacier Ice CHI iron from Overstock and I thought it was all good but little did I know…

One of the “advantages” of this flat iron is that it heats up to a fixed temperature of 302-356°F. WHO NEEDS THAT?! The worst part is that I don’t even know what to do now. I mean, what temperature is best for my hair? Now that the hair around my edges is straight, will it ever curl again?? DO I HAVE TO CUT MY HAIR ALL OVER AGAIN?!?!?! I went searching to one of my fav blogs Mop Top Maven and went searching for heat information and here’s her take on it:

New Years Resolution #1

 

More sexy; less cute. I need to drive “him” wild…

Some of my favs for the week. I was surprised that I could only find three…

She’s my absolute favorite. I need my hair to grow. The thing I want most in the world (#dramatic) is a bun. I swear; just a bun.

Can Black Girls Blush?

 

I’m totally into make-up these days. It has been BREAKING MY HEART that this move hasn’t allowed me to make my weekly MAC purchase and I cannot wait till I’m back in a place where I can have my life back (another post entirely). I like wearing a natural look; I haven’t crossed over into anything SnAzZy quite yet (I’m scheduled for a MAC gift card for my bday though YES!). I’ve been getting pretty good with my technique but one thing I CANNOT seem to get the basics for is blush.

I currently own:

(Left) – Get-Away Bronze Frost Powder Blush and (right) – Petticoat Mineralize Skin Finish blush. Applying the golden blush isn’t too hard because even if I don’t “apply it correctly'” it’s gold. It cannot look bad! LOL! But the petticoat…

Up and Running

Well not really. My computer is still acting an ASS but I’ve secretly downloaded Window’s Live Writer on someone else’s computer so I could get back to business so I’ll be back at it soon. Until then, here are some pics from this weekend. I went to this baby ass club called Recess and to a fight party in the boonies of VA. LOL. #goodtimes

What's My Style

Can you put your style into words? I can't. I don't even know if I have style (HAHA)!! Some days I walk out of the house looking like one thing and the next day I can look like a totally different person. I regularly browse LOOKBOOK and just look at other people's outfits. Here are a few that I liked

I didn't mean for this post to be so huge but my computer is broken and I don't know how to post on blogger forreal; I usually use Window's Blog Writer. Anyways, if you could put your style into words what would you say?

While I was sitting at home BORED TO DEATH, I was on their site and saw a few things I liked:

Tis all…

I Am NOT My Hair

Being that I’m homeless for the moment and I didn’t want to turn my friend’s bathroom into Beanie’s Hair Salon, I decided to get a sew in!

I love this thang! It’s just so shiny and bouncy and fun lol! In the same breath, I’m really sad about it because I realize that the hair that is left out will be totally different from the hair that’s braided.

Now I’m not one of those people who went natural and think their hair is the passage to heaven nor am I one of the people who hates my hair (even though it took some time to get used to). Truth is that I like to wear it big and curly and I like to wear it sleek and straight. I just wish my hair wasn’t so easily manipulated by heat. For instance…

UGH!!!

I’m SO over my ufckin closet!! It’s like I want to throw most of it away, get a sugar daddy and start all over again! On top of that I feel like when God was handing out the ability to accessorize I was off in the corner sneaking sandwiches or something. I hate it when I feel like I have NOTHING to wear and with me moving to a new place I don’t want to go up there looking like bussit baby #3.

If I could blink and see the items I want today, they would be…

 

IDK where mine went but I need another and AE has a nice one

It’s like I cannot find one of these to save my life…well not one under $170

Bittersweet

When I first moved to Atlanta I HATED it!! I remember calling my Dad in tears and we had conjured a plan for me to get and job and move back to Charlotte within 12 months. Now the same tears I cry are from the pain of leaving a place I felt was home. My how things have changed… There is so much that I will miss…

My first job as an engineer. The company way perfect by NO MEANS but it was my first chance and I met some great people there.
